Why should economics order society? That doesn’t of itself create a happy species. But when we make our goal to create a happy species, material abundance like every other kind will flow like water from a stream. Humanitarian values, not economic ones, should be our bottom line.

Even th 'law' contrasts th meaning btwn written law, & th 'spirit' of th law. Hence, good laws vs bad laws. The fulcrum being societies collective intention, dictators, or ruling partys' . Once profit motive is introduced, appears humans become pawns. See environment issue.

Update: To 'profit' point -- The CEO of these so-called "child detention centers" clears over $1 million /yr in Fed tax money (taxpayer's money). Basically a "private-prison model." Source: Antar Davidson, ex-Tucson Shelter Employee #kidstrauma #ChildrenUnderAttack

They do go together though. Freedom and free enterprise are nearly synonymous and tyranny and any form of statism (socialism/communism/fascism) creates the most misery and the most suffering. Also the most genocide. Limited gov is your friend, big gov is not

Economics don’t order society. People do as in people order economics and it’s called free will. Have you raised funds to help people? If so, you’re part of the cycle. Do you have your personal money budgeted? Even streams can dry up.
